Martin not playing.

 

Maybe White will see some game time?

 

Hopefully Lamb plays and starts.

 

I hope Lamb starts & they have Delfino come on as the back up SF. Also I really hope Royce gets some burn in this game.

 

Spurs by 12

 

White gets some pt hopefully

 

Spurs win, but who cares. I want to see White play and D-Mo step up his game.

 

Will Lin play?

 

Rockets need to get better at figuring out which lineup off the bench is better....who should be playing well. I feel like every time the starters rest, the bench that came on the court were chaos, they didn't know what play to run or what to do ....no chemistry and lack of rhyme. They need to figure that part out.

Also, why is Machado not the 2nd PG for the team? Why Douglas? Machado makes the team better because of his vision and decision...i don't see that in Douglas.

 

Machado is a liability on defense. That is likely why he is the 3rd guard off the bench.

 

as long as white doesnt get a heart attack, let him play!

 

Machado sucks ass! He can't even make a wide open lay up! He's garbage, tony Douglas is a better player than him! He can shoot the 3, great passer and good team floor leader.

 

I have never seen an ass sucker get 5 assists in 6 minutes.

 

He still needs to learn to defend and become a consistent jump shooter. He is too one dimensional right now.

 

I noticed this. Maybe we can pick up this guy?

 

Nah, i'd rather have Lorenzomax7, aka, LMax7: the Question.


Woohoo!

 

Key to winning against Spurs: Stop them from penetrations and corner 3's.

For the future of Machado and the team, it's best to start him off at DL.
Machado:
- Last in defensive skills behind TD, Livingston, and Lin.
- Poor decision making in when to shoot or when to pass. He passes when he has good looks and vice versa.
- Drove to the basket and got blocked when he supposed to run the clock down during the final minute of Thunder game.
- Machado should've had 2 more TO's against Thunder when Rockets, twice, got the lucky bounces off deflection when he passed into a crowd of defenders, not to mention the blocked shot not counted as TO.

Yeah, stats looked good but he still has a lot to learn to become NBA ready.
